Additional Details:
The Roman Catholic Cathedral of Moorish style of architecture was dedicated Dec. 8th 1796. In 1881 the roofs and interior was destroyed by fire but the walls were uninjured. In rebuilding the North Wall was extended and the arms of the cross lengthened. The Campanile was built in 1888 and contains the new Peal of Bells. The old Chime still hangs in the facade, one bearing date of 1682
